Matt Moore will start Week 1.

Keep in mind that Clausen is not even 100% healthy yet. He just had surgery on his toe, just like Jonathan Stewart did when he came here. We don't even know when he can start practicing.

Who, Stewart?

I believe this is more political in nature...

I think Fox is pissed at Moore for showing up his boy Delhomme, and is going to give him a half-assed opportunity to "win" games.

I think that honestly it's a 50-50 shot between one or the other starting. I know that others will say that Moore deserves a shot because of the fact that he's been here longer and that he's 6-2 in the 8 starts that he's had. Well, part of that success is due to the fact that he was not game planned for. Teams were more focused on stopping Double Trouble and didn't really have much film on Moore to study in the first place outside of preseason with the scrubs and old film from 2007 (I believe that was the year). Moore has never actually had to adjust due to people trying to take away things that he does and exploit his tendencies. That means that once they actually start to focus the game plan on him and he actually has to adjust, we don't know if he'll be able to do so. Maybe it is a full blown open QB competition, or maybe they're doing it to make Matt step up and take the reins and make the team his. To me, it's real telling that the reason why they had to cut Jake was because so many of the players (except maybe Smitty) would've wanted him to start over Matt this year, even after the success that Matt had at the end of the season. That's why I think that it's open season for the QB position, because honestly, this is no one's team right now. Someone is gonna have to step up and take the reins and make it theirs. May the best QB win though, cause all i want is to see my team win.

teams start rookies when they have no other option. Carolina isn't in that position. Moore knows the system, speed of the game, and is a winner. Moore is the 2010 QB.....it will be interesting to see what happens in Carolina on mutliple fronts following this season.

I have no favorite but to me you start Moore and let Clausen learn and adjust to the speed of the game the first year. Next year defiantly have open competition. I didnt want us to trade up for a QB but to have one that is like Clausen fall in our laps I have no problem with. We should be set at QB for a good long time.

Who, Stewart?

Well I meant Clausen, but the question applies to both I guess.
